Priorities first, I’m a noise sensitive person so my sister bought me these AirPods Pro for the noise cancellation feature and she was right on the money. While they can be a bit challenging to sleep in, they were still a lot less painful than earplugs and don’t clog my ears or create pressure in my head like sleep earplugs do. They block loud fireworks astoundingly well and pairing them with my favorite relaxation videos has been an auditory feast. If that’s not enough, I recently read they have been approved to be paired with an app feature with a hearing test that can convert them into an affordable hearing aid! This is seriously a revolutionary leap in just how far tech can go in having a lot of practical bonuses. I love that a long press can toggle between transparency mode that, again, helps the neurodivergent by making the sound around you crisp so you can filter out the unwanted noises. It doesn’t just allow you to hear the room around you when interrupted, it actually helped me hear it better but still authentically, which is why its approval as a hearing aid came as no surprise. Despite the small cups feeling the most comfortable and reading as a good fit, I had to switch to medium which is a little too snug but did keep them from falling out. So there’s a trade off with the fits there. I panicked after losing one in a muddy puddle but I immediately recovered it, removed and dried the silicone piece and the water hadn’t yet reached the mesh piece yet. Still, there was an audio screech in use so I let it dry in front of a fan and it’s been good as new since. Months passed and no issues outside of that incident. The battery life is about four hours for complex use but it can usually completely cover 6-7 hours sleep with simple sounds. But it charges super fast, within a half hour, so it’s easy to have it ready quickly again if you’re still wanting to use it. Very easy to clean; use cotton swabs dry or with a little isopropyl alcohol between uses. Earwax buildup is very obvious on white but I consider this a good thing for the hygiene of the product. I love the charging case; very easy to find custom covers for. Pairing is as simple as opening the case and pressing the pairing button on the back until you hear the chime and see the slow white pulsing flash when it’s ready to be found. I have it paired with my TV, phone and have easily paired it and disconnected it from temporary sources with no fuss. It will stay paired to the last thing you used so it doesn’t automatically switch around by default. It does save the last volume you used so you don’t have to worry about the higher volume you need for music to blast into your ears when transferred to a much louder TV. It starts low on a new pairing as well to avoid hearing damage. You can also set it to warn you if your settings or duration might cause damage to your ears. My only gripe is that you cannot toggle the settings on your phone unless you’re wearing them. I would love a simple dedicated app for this so you can set them remotely and just have it automatically update once you are wearing them again. Sometimes I repeatedly forget to change a setting and wonder why I get annoyed repeatedly. It will be because I forgot I toggled a simple setting that makes a difference. I’m often the sort to only remember why that might be when I’m not in the midst of frustration while using them. Overall though, my minor gripes just don’t make it less amazing to own these. I can easily say it’s the gift that keeps on giving. I’ve slept better and have an overall better quality of life just having them. I’ve been an Apple fan for over a decade now. Started with an iMac that I fell in love with at a Best Buy and then got iPods, iPads and even a MacBook Pro along the way. I’d love to get my hands on a MacBook mini sometime. Not all of the products are for everyone (or even me in particular) but I think they have an excellent range that is intuitive for me as a tech user. These AirPods Pro just sealed that for me most recently. I love reviewing tech so look out for my tech reviews! I try to be as thorough and product-conscious as possible to help people find their match. If you are looking for that next great product to adopt, start with these AirPods Pro and you won’t be disappointed.

I’ve owned these AirPods Pro earbuds for a few years now. There are a lot of things I like about them but also a lot of things I do which I just dealt with. First, the connectivity to other Apple products is a process that can’t be beat. It’s incredibly easy and fast. The battery life of these earbuds is also incredibly impressive. Sound quality, so good. The her interface for skipping songs, turning on/off noise cancellation, etc, is really great and easy to do. Also is just really cool in and of itself. However, the fit of these earbuds, even with the different size options, is abysmal. They’re either super uncomfortable and bothering your ears or they’re constantly falling out of your ears. Also, the static. I didn’t know this was a known reparable issue till fairly recently but when you first put the earbuds in, all you hear is static and it takes so long for it to go away so you can move on to listening to whatever you were going to listen to. I guess I could have had them replaced, but it was too late for that once I had learned this. Either way, I hated that I spent so much money on these and ended up stuck with them. Even with all the positive points, these negatives overrode every one of them for me and I definitely wouldn’t repurchase.

Another apple product that u immediately fell in love with. I was never big on the headphones because of the hard plastic hurting my ears. I usually stick with skullcandy headphones. When the AirPod pros first came out I couldn’t justify spending the money on headphones because I thought they surely couldn’t be that much better. Well the AirPods Pro 2 came out and I believe it was a Black Friday sale or some promotional where I got them for a little more than half price. Man on man I didn’t know the quality I had been missing. The noise cancellation offered is outstanding. The music is clear, the bass on point, and the sound quality is unlike any other. When you take and earbud out it automatically connects and starts playing sound through the earbud. If you remove them from your ear the sound automatically stops pausing whatever it is you are watching or listening to. The connectivity is seamless with no problems switching between earbuds and regular phone sounds. The battery life is like no other. I love that you charge the case and the case continues to charge the earbuds as the battery drains in them. I tend to wear one at a time at work, but each time I go to get one out they are both charged back to 100%. With frequent use I charge the case about once a week which is outstanding for battery life.

Comfort: 9.5/10 - Very comfortable, doesn’t fall out even with aggressive head movement. Touch Controls: 10/10 - The functions available for touch control (like volume slider) are useful. Using the touch functions is not hard to figure out. Unlike many other earbuds, you can adjust their angle in your ears without accidentally setting off a touch control. Noise Cancelling: 9.5/10 - Works well overall. Amazing for almost completely blocking out consistent background noise, soft noises, and even some harsh noises (ex. tapping on a window). Transparency Mode: 10/10 - Very good, sounds as though the headphones are not even in your ears. Sound Quality: 9/10 - Good quality especially in such a small package. Bass: 9.75/10 - The bass in these earbuds is great. Battery Life: 8.5/10 - Good, the buds alone lasting a bit longer could be useful. The battery life information provided by Apple is accurate. Overall, they work well and have many useful features. The earbuds seem to be a good discreet option for daily use.
